QUACKITY ; it couple
summary ; you and quackity, through your shared fanbases and friends, have become the online it couple of the month
warnings ; language

Tumblr media
the hype and popularity spiked again once the qsmp had a random popularity spike after korea was introduced into the smp
then quackity started trending on tik tok and then you did once you posted a new video with him on your channel

they also love hyping you two up
from fit checks to cute couple moments, they're always hyping you up 💯💯
"ayeeee go! go! shake that ass! QUACKITY SHAKE THAT ASS" ; from roier and foolish
niki, foolish and tommy are probably your biggest hype men, in comments or on stream LMAO
god forbid one of you mentions having a favorite song or shared song you like /pos
the edits AGAIN lmao
you dressed as aesthetics of music you listened to for a video but never addressed it on stream so again, the edits LMAO
so many of you to emo/punk music and so many of him to rap/hip-hop (take this with a grain of salt ok...)

so many edits of you and alex making like thirst traps LMFAOOOO

tag game
okay showing up so late and likely with a lot of rambling but thank you so much for the tags @fxreflyes and @static-radio-ao3 love seeing little insights into ur lives <333
fave colour: red/pink!!
last song: i've had chappell roan's album, the rise and fall of a midwest princess, on repeat all day to try and somehow magically imbue myself with the strength to write my essay (which i've done now! mostly! gonna look it over tomorrow but it's basically done!!) but the specific song that's playing as i hit post is femininomenon!! a classic and a banger
last film: i rewatched pirates of the caribbean 2 w one of my friends (who had never seen it before can you guys believe that?!?!) and it's still as brilliant as ever, four and a half stars on letterboxd (there's no rhyme or reason behind my star system on letterboxd like i do it on the vibe in the moment and am now wondering why i didn't give it five stars??)
currently reading: okay so boring answer is 'the decameron' by boccaccio, i'm studying him for the second part of this term and really shot myself in the foot bc i didn't realise how fucking long it was (nearly 700 pages) and i have NO time ever so it's gonna be a little miserable over here in roughly two weeks when my first essay on him is due.... seems interesting tho i've read like 40 pages so far.... more exciting answer is anna karenina!! started reading it in the holidays (when i should've been reading the decameron lol) and have only read like one part and a bit so far bc i never have the time for fun reading during uni :(.... gimme like three months tho and i'll get back to you guys, i really enjoyed the bits i have read and will absolutely have some marauders-related thoughts once i have the full picture (incapable of not linking all media to them)
currently watching: i just finally started watching the sex lives of college girls, which was soooooo long overdue, i've watched two eps so far and am loving it a lot, think it's gonna be slow going tho bc. busy :(... i also rewatched the first two eps of new girl a couple days ago bc sude and i were talking about it and i felt it had to be done... wanna do a full rewatch bc it's been so long but alas, again, time is of the essence, and also i'm always very slow at tv shows... anyway
currently craving: like. spare time. ig?? no more essays?? that's the main thing that i think would make my life exponentially better.... we're at 3/8 now tho so like... slowly crawling through them.... also every time i've gone to tesco recently i've been eyeing up the raspberries, just waiting for them to go on some kind of clubcard deal so i can pounce, raspberries are my fave fruit but they're always so fucking expensive the world is so cruel to me
coffee or tea: tea!!! always!!! can't stand the taste of coffee and i think that much caffeine would send me into like cardiac arrest or something. but also i'm not huuuuuge on tea either (not very british of me ik) like i only ever drink it when i'm w other people who are drinking it or when i'm writing an essay and need some willpower/energy/to procrastinate a little... like i'm not a cup of tea at all times of day kinda gal at all
not sure who's been tagged so soz if u've already done it but no pressure tags for @quillkiller @themuseoftheviolets @stillagoodwitch @inevitablestars @sixlane and whoever else wants to <33

also here is my fts tracks ranking…? it’s very wordy I apologize if u just wanted the list lol. - car crash anon
1. [march] ugh when the chorus hits there’s this little “dudududu” thing in the bg that’s like this kind of beeping adjacent noise. and I love it so much. i love how this song sounds like there’s not anything I can point to specifically but I rly like it. maybe it’s the fact that like… there’s just so much singing? like the “like a cowboy” immediately leads into more singing. it’s so nice. oh and the guitar thing the song leads with. from that alone I knew I was gonna be into it
2. [ash] did NOT expect to like the song as much as I did! love the effects on the voices here which I don’t usually do. the part before the chorus hits genuinely has my whole heart. i love that like,, kind of menacing sound it has soooo much. im so into that kind of thing. the vernon part is so good too… ash to action is very smooth. this mostly ranks so high because I loveeeee that part before the chorus so much… think shadow might have this spot in a few months if I get tired of it?
3. [shadow] “shadow my shadow my shadow…” I love how they straight up just cut this off to jump into the next part instead of doing like. oh let’s repeat this line but increase the intensity to lead into the next part—oh no the next part just comes in huh. anyways it’s just a banger <3 one of my favorite things abt a lot of svt songs is like. they start and they just keep on going without ever feeling like they lose their momentum? and this was rly like that
4. [DON QUIXOTE] i /adore/ the piano at the beginning of this song. it makes the whole thing sound really bright! mostly I just feel like this song didn’t really Go Places? which is fine, bc I still like it, but I do wish it did a little More
5. [domino] i like the instrumental! it’s a lil bouncy despite the song overall feeling quite soft. also I love how it sounds whenever they go here we gooooo. here we gooooo.
6. [IF you leave me] there’s this like piano breakdown where it feels like the piano is like. offbeat compared to their vocals and the tempo of the song is increasing? and it’s soooo cool I’m into it. this was a very nice song I loved hearing the layers in it. i think ballads are always very slow for me to get into, though.
7. [‘bout you] cute and peppy!! and I love the harmonies they add a lot of charm to the whole thing
8. [HOT] ok I personally just don’t vibe with the like… hot, hot, hot bit? the rest of the song I love so much though. but especially like man the first minute of this song… so good. and the post chorus bit. what I was really surprised with was that u actually rly liked the effects on the voices! like 90% of the time I dislike that kind of thing but I think it rly fit here. guess they nailed that down on ash and this song huh
9. [darl+ing] honestly a cute song. just not for me!
NO BC I LOVE THIS SM??????????? love that u even thought of giving me a full breakdown i LOOOVE hearing abt things like this v much
ALSO ASH RANKING THIS HIGH ON UR LIST????????????????????????????????? im kissing u on the mouth <3 she def is NOT for everyone but the way u described it is EXACTLY how i perceived it as well and the exact reason why i love it. ALSO WHEN WONU'S CHORUS DROPPED???????????? took me to church, fucking killed me and ascended my soul to heaven
and agreed omg <3 the buildups and the general arrangement of svteenie songs really does feel v cohesive and consistent!! also not to pick a bone with... the new genre of making frankenstein songs (i like them sometimes), but sustaining momentum really makes the song much more fulfilling to listen to if that makes sense
YOU ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO <3 i’m so in love w u rn. and people really were expecting v much from don quixote jkdsfhjdsf ok but the bass on this song,,,,,,,, LOVE
THE HERE WE GO DSFJSDKFJKDS MADE ME LAUGH BUT YES I GET UUUUUUUUUUU!! also one of my favorite parts of the song tbh. the medley really did not do her justice, she was SOOOO much more than i expected
relate <3 i also don’t find myself gravitating towards ballads. i’m more of a click clack pots and pans banging girl 😭 construction music as the kids call it
I CANT WAIIIIIIIIIT for them to perform bout u in cons tbh. i feel like it’s gonna be a very cute perf or just a fun stage in general if they decide to execute it as something similar to, say, a-teen. (+ dk’s gonna kill these harmonies live i just KNOWWWWW it)
AND ME TOOOOO!! i usually don’t like,, uhh, autotune and similar shit on songs but i think it was very fitting indeed. and i get where ure coming from abt liking the first few parts of it more! and not to be me but like... dk slaying that pre-chorus.... enough to seal the deal for me tbh
LOVE HOW U SAID THAT? and while it also isn’t one of my favorite svteenie song, i def think darling really has served her purpose really well!!

mankai tik tok headcannons
starting this blog off with a banger am i right folks -kazunari literally begged sakyo, matsukawa and izumi for the account. like on his knees begged. he made a whole-ass google slides about why the company should have one, and half the reason why sakyo approved it was due to the sheer amount of effort put into the slideshow. his one condition is that the account must be used professionally. -anyways no one uses the account “professionally”
-kazunari and taichi are immediately posting dance videos, and they manage to coerce other members of the dorms to dance with him. tasuku sees tsumugi hitting the woah while kazu records and he has a fucking stroke - “the official company tiktok account is for professional use only. miyoshi if you use the account to perform the act of “throwing it back” i swear to my fucking mother you will not see the light of day”
-omi has a few cooking videos, with camoes from taichi and juza! those two like to pop in from time to time, helping him chop veggies and the like. b/c of his photography skills, his videos are actually really nicely edited/composed! him and kazu’s tend to have the best composition 
-izumi is inspired by omi and makes a “cooking challenge” where she makes a different type of curry every single day. it is an unfortunate year for the rest of mankai. masumi is her official curry taste-tester, and helps her film -masumi, itaru, omi, and kazu have the best camera work/best looking tiktoks. masumi pulled several all-nighters learning how to be the best camera man for izumi’s curry videos
-itaru regularly shitposts on the account and he has to hide from sakyo after he posts one because he's "ruining the company's image" -you know that one tiktok trend where a kid tells their parent to hit them every time a song swears and the song always gets so close but doesnt do it? thats banri with sakyo and omi except sakyo actually hits him - theres actually cute videos of them goofing off backstage during show time!! its usually sakuya filming them, and the content ranges from the boys preforming out of character etudes while in costume to tik-tok dances while they’re getting mic’ed.  -there’s also quite a few videos of the cast/stage crew fornite dancing in the wings as a particularly serious scene goes on on stage - during ginji the wanderer banri was doing the orange justice on stage left while taichi filmed. sakyo, on stage, saw him out of the corner of his eyes and never has his resolve as an actor been tested so much -after showtime he made barni sweep/clean the stage all by himself -citron is the best dancer out of the boys. no cap. his cannibal is flawless -guy films all of his work -chikage has never been in any tiktok video. he fucking refuses to be apart of this. muku and taichi have tried to get him in a video without him noticing and he notices. every time. he stares into the camera until they go away  -tenma tries really hard to do the dances but he puts way too much energy in them and they come off very forced. yuki calls him a hack off camera, and citron critiques his form. his rendition of savage is wayyyyyyyyyy to aggressive.  -yuki does the occasional lookbook w/ filters, azami likes to join in from time to time and show off his makeup skills. yuki’s vids also tend to be pretty well put together  -azami does little tutorials on how he does stage makeup for shows, and does speedpaints for some of his art. -muku uses the account to talk about whatever manga he’s reading, and posts videos of his team’s track meets/pep rally days - sakisaka/hyodo tiktok dances.... banri looses his shit when he sees juza try and fail to do a dance. later that night banri comes to dinner with a black eye. geez where did he get that from -banri does allllllllll the fuckboi dances. pushes his hair back, lip-syncing, everything. its awful -juza duets banri with a video of him filming banri doing one of his titktoks, juza recording from his bed. banri slowly turns around, staring daggers, before fucking go after his roommate as juza flees the room cackling to himself as he uploads the video
-kazunari has started several mankai-themed tiktok trends -kazu also just films like random shit happening in the dorm. a very popular video series is him filming hisoka sleeping in the weirdest spots and tasuku trying to get him back down -autumn trope minus sakyo does the shirtless boys tiktok and sakyo nearly flays them alive -misumi likes to showcase all of the triangles he’s found in the triangle hunt that day and it’s so wholesome. kazu helps him film and its so good -3:42am tsuzuru in sleep-deprived mode accidently goes live while he’s writing. he intended to snap itaru to go pick him up an energy drink so now all of tiktok gets to see tsuzuru with bloodshot teary eyes as he begs itaru to go get him some fucking redbull -taichi spends seven fucking hours on a saturday once trying to hit a ping pong ball into a soda cup with a golf club. the cup in question has been perched on a sleeping hisoka’s head. -when he finally gets it he didn’t realize that his phone battery died two hours ago
-hisoka launches the cup at him when he starts crying -tsumugi has no idea what tik tok even is and at this point he’s too afraid to ask -azuma likes to show off his skincare routine, and posts little vids/adds of when upcoming mankai shows are!
-homare recites poetry. so. much. poetry. sakyo takes away his tiktok privileges for a month after all three hundred and thirty five latest posts from the account are him reciting his bs  -guy lets taichi and kazu throw on the craziest hats/accessories on him while he goes about the day, and they film the highlights. he doesn’t really understand what exactly is entertaining about it, but he lets them have their fun

give me random hcs of whoever da fuc u want
Tumblr media
foolish of you to say "whoever u want" and not expect this to b abt Sasha. anyway (putting this under a cut to spare everyone):
I thinkkkk they fidget a lot, but like. involuntarily, as in they are always moving in some way shape or form. either their leg is bouncing or their fingers are twitching or they're tapping out a rhythm on the closest surface or they're running a hand through their hair or they're playing w the hilt of one of their swords or th
they do NOT LIKE physical contact unless they are the one to initiate it OR it's coming from someone they trust completely (u already know who I think this person is for them). anytime one of her friends initiates physical contact w/o her expecting it, it always makes her jump a bit; if it's coming from anyone other than a friend then she will immediately get annoyed/uncomfortable/angry/WHATEVER
whenever they think rlly hard abt smth they bring their hand up to their face in that typical thinking pose but then they trace their thumb on their scar over and over and over and it's sorta just a habit that developed subconsciously. to anyone else it looks like they're literally plotting revenge but in reality they're doing it w/o being aware of it
we know that they skateboard so I think they're probably decent at it, they can't do anything crazy but one night they stayed up until like 4 am watching videos on how to do tricks and then spent the entirety of the next day obsessively learning how to ollie; as soon as they got it down they brought their skateboard to school all nonchalant and ollied onto the sidewalk like they'd known how to do it for years, and they're all smug on the outside but on the inside they're like YESyesyes FUCK yes I DID it. and they go to the skatepark to try to learn other tricks but they always have to make sure next to no one is around bc they don't want anybody to see them fuck up a trick as they learn it
I wanna say she's naturally musically talented but doesn't give a fuck abt learning the proper way to play music and blah blah blah. LIKE THIS IS EXTREMELY SELF-INDULGENT BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT'S PRACTICALLY CANON? they just. THEY KNOW HOW TO WRITE SONGS? Anne and Marcy are always like Sash where did you learn how to compose stuff and they're just like. bitch idk if it sounds good in my head I just make it happen. they've got a program on their computer where they put together melodies but they don't rlly show anyone else unless they're confident that it's a rlly fucking banger song
THIS BITCH HAS INSOMNIA. I do not CARE what anyone else says, they were kept behind bars and traumatized for so fucking long so if they didn't have insomnia before they definitely do now. if they had it before Amphibia they'd probably have just stayed up doing dumb shit like one night they just climb on the roof of their house and sit there for a while. and she's constantly coming into school LOOKING dead tired but not actually acting tired and Anne and Marcy are like Sasha wtf did u do this time u look like u've been hit by a car and Sash just goes oh haha u know. the usual.
going off that I think they probably learned how to swordfight by once again looking it up as much as they could at like 1 in the morning, and then they abruptly got out of bed and were like alright. climbed out of their bedroom window, went marching around for a stick or smth else they could use, and then just started DILIGENTLY swinging it around and whacking trees and lampposts until it's 5 am and they're like ah. can't wait to show Anne and Marcy this one when I have to get up for school in two hours. but it becomes a fixation for her and she keeps training herself w it for weeks and weeks, and when she gets transported to Amphibia and starts working w Grime, he perfects her technique a bit but is otherwise shocked at how much of a knack she has for it
they realize they're nonbinary after Marcy comes out to both them and Anne as nb, and they at first didn't know what it meant but didn't wanna say it out loud to avoid seeming stupid so they just. eventually pulled Anne to the side and was like hey what does. nonbinary mean. and Anne explains and Sash is like oh. huh. and they like the sound of the label and they THINK it fits them but they're unsure so for months they don't say anything. but during those months they sorta personally test the label out on themself and this mainly consists of them muttering "I'm nonbinary. I can do whatever the fuck I want" under their breath every time they do anything they are not supposed to b doing. AND THEN FINALLY THEY ACCIDENTALLY COME OUT TO ANNE AND MARCY WHILE THEY'RE IN AMPHIBIA.. probably sometime between The Dinner and Battle of the Bands where Anne is like "Sash you should probably stop walking around like you're gonna kill someone" and Sasha goes why are you restricting my right to look angry when I'm literally nonbinary. this is a hate crime. and Anne is like wait you're WHAT?
anyway I'm cutting myself off now before this gets more excessive than it already is but yeah. there u go

anyways im gonna listen to/read the fuckin...rise of the ogre shit bc ive been putting it off 🪓🥴 im gonna put stuff under the cut bc im gonna be TALKING n dont wanna make a new post everytime
piss
ok he performed for 2 pounds 50. which is basically $3 today i- well it was absolutely a power play on his father behalf that also had the promise of money so.
also lol he said Rejection fueled my ambitions which, yknow,, i already knew but it still hurts and i will continue to talk ab it xoxo
AH HELP. "...if ebay had been invented at the time he would've sold me online there and then,"
"man hands on misery to man, yknow"
THEN PROCEEDS TO CONNECT IT TO MUSIC/HIS CAREER. this man said :) the one thing i truly have a passion for. the one thing i fucking like.
oh yeah. bullied by students AND teachers.
oh god hes 42ish during this interview? ok.
the fuckin school bully saying he wouldve acted differently if he knew what hed become
getting called "faceache", then proceeds to call 2d that. jfc he really does just repeat what everyone says. really "treating others how i was treated/how they treat me"
maybe thats why? hes kinder to fans? bc :] you support me and like me so, ok ill return that energy
MURDOC GETTING HIS ASS BEAT N PARADING HOME LIKE WELL I WON BC 'I PISSED YOU OFF' SJDJD
a real rowdy boy. absolute nasty boy. fraud and arson... shooting ppls windows with his air pistols
black sabbath being a huge inspiration? fucking absolutely.
became a satanist n shit at age 16? "it fitted me like a glove" "heavy metal and devil worshipping became my favorite past times" ajsj funny that ppl in trying times often seek religion or following of some sort
heavy metal being his favorite, n loving the clash, while hannibals was more punk based
hannibal breaking murdocs nose for the 2nd and 3rd time for playing his music on hannibals turntable
he doesnt sound that bitter? ab hannibal? he doesnt sound incredibly fond but he talks ab how he got him into a lot of music. so, i imagine they we're a bit closer than i thought?
international baccalaureate in antisocial? anthropology?
MURDOC IS ACTUALLY SMART HE WAS JUST. NOT INTERESTED IN THE SUBJECTS? I GUESS? (also,,, he literally Built cyborg noodle and i think he had a PhD too lol. but its always nice to hear hes actually...yknow, interested or good at other things)
alright but murdoc having a fascination w/ other cultures - or at least some interests, that lead him to actually study the damn subject and "pass with flying colors"
'fuck college though. im gonna be a rockstar'
he sold his soul at 18ish? whenever the fuck he got kicked out but college was mentioned so my brain goes to 18ish idk
he lived with his father still and paid rent via low paying jobs one including 'part time dressing as santa'
help he was ab to take a Personal Job for quick cash and uhh well, "still made me call him sir though" he really said 20 dollars is 20 dollars, huh "that story was totally true"
alright, 1997,,,
2d stuff
loves zombie stuff? thats really cute, and is freaked out by the way they move. god he rambles
both he and murdoc are horses in the chinese zodiac
[[jfc ok if the official shit compares them a lot i understand why ppl ship them but Dont. its a narrative foil and that doesnt always mean Romance jfc.]]
SUMTHINK.
truly... a lil stinker. super cute bouncing baby and a "bit thick" which is stull so endearing to me. hes just a happy man!
excitable 10 year old and would dance around his room
jfc the fact he has normal/caring parents. i kinda forget how opposite hes supposed to be from murdoc but i think thats another thing jsjsysg (murdoc said why isnt my tragic story making me famous why does he get to be the Star. no wonder he acts like a loon)
i still dont get how gettin bonked by a tree branch made him go bald and also turn his hair blue

"2d was the looks, murdoc the brains, then russel truly was the heart"
'while 2d and murdoc liked music, this man was a MUSICIAN' god fucking bless this book holy shit ny man russ getting some respect. he said back hurts from carrying this band.
murdoc basically heard this guy had big trauma that gave him So Many Skills n said "thats what i want" ok idk thats actually really? inch rest ting to me. seems that murdocs fine handing out compliments but i guess that where his charisma really helps out yeah?

idk how/why he sucked up all his friends souls though ... how are they all possessing the same person. they said "its my turn on The Russ"
DELL IS HIS ACTUAL, LITERAL SOULMATE...KING...😭
went to a private school,,, and was already possessed? and the thing where he gets bigger and smaller is a reoccurring thing?

my favorite 2020 kpop songs
there were some bangers this year... this includes title tracks & bsides and everything else under the sun.
i always got shit to say and i always see youtube videos like this but i simply can’t edit so here we are
you never know - blackpink
okay yeah i didn’t really fw hylt or lovesick girls when i first heard them but when i listened to the album you never know really stuck with me... i never get sick of it. definitely the best track off the album imo. rosé’s prechorus has made me cry a few times ngl
alien - lee suhyun
alright miss thing... i was obsessed with this song when i first heard it... the pre chorus with the ooo ooo ooo and the switch to the chorus is so good it gets me every time. she’s cute i like her... while we’re here i’ll also mention i really liked her ost in your time for it’s okay to not be okay.. i loved that drama and that’s my fav ost from it.. but anyway
lalalilala - april
They Served. Big time. the music video is so pretty and the song was stuck in my head for 6 months straight... they really did the damn thing with this. kinda sounds like an apink song but that’s a compliment... overall this whole comeback was really good and deserved better. honorable mention : the bside on this ep you.zip is so good too
open your eyes - iz*one
this is all i listened to for months after bloomiz dropped... izone’s music is really a hit or miss for me and i didn’t really vibe with fiesta but i’m so glad i gave the album a chance because open your eyes is definitely in my top 5 releases of this year. their other bside dreamlike is really good too
the book of us : the demon - day6 album
now where do i start with this... to this day i am still obsessed with 1 to 10... like that’s gotta be the best off this album imo. zombie was so good and i really liked the lyrics. the album as a whole was really really good. i sound like a broken record
children - bvndit
oh boy... another one of my top 5 releases from this year. not only is the overall sound of this amazing but i love the lyrics too. these girls deserve so much better
d-2 - agust d/yoongi/suga mixtape
my king. i shit myself when this dropped ngl... i don’t even know how to elaborate on how much i love this. daechwita was stuck in my head for the longest time.. i think the highlights off this for me have to be people, honsool & dear my friend. this mixtape was really a moment.. i love yoongi y’all
love again - baekhyun / underwater - baekhyun
alright alright .. i put these two together since they’re from the same album idk but it took a while for candy to grow on me but i’ve loved these since i first heard them... i was Obsessed. the final bridge/chorus whatever the hell thing he does in love again put me into shock for 3 months straight and the beat in underwater is heavenly
the dream chapter : eternity - txt ep
this serve. has to be my favorite from txt yet... rookies with the best discography fr. i love dark concepts and really like that they did something different with this. can’t you see me was Amazinggg. fairy of shampoo has to be one of the best songs i’ve ever heard it’s insane. i also really liked eternally, who else has that range... Nobody. top to bottom this ep is really good, i hope they do another dark concept like this again soon bc this hit big time
eight - iu & suga
it took a while for this to grow on me but whew...when it did... kinda makes me feel like i’m in a coming of age movie and i like that, makes me nostalgic for that. eight soty, they both did great on this
# - loona ep
Now... Cmon. so what was either a hit or miss for a lot of people but something i think everyone can agree on is that the bridge is godsent. like that shit makes me cry sometimes. the music video was really good, i always come back to the subway/train scene. number 1 is also so damn good. overall i really loved this ep. they really ate with this one
eyes wide open - twice album
when i first heard this album i didn’t like it That much but it’s really grown on me lately. the whole retro trend was fun and then it got a little overdone so i was tired of it by the time this dropped but actually.. some of the bsides are insanely good. behind the mask is definitely a highlight for me, mina’s bridge is heavenly. i love mina so bad. but anyway, i can’t stop me took some time to grow on me as well but it always gets stuck in my head. i also really like up no more & depend on you, they’re cute
maybe - gidle
Y’all... i love this song. it’s short and simple but it was so addicting to me. i really like that one part in the last two choruses if you know what i’m talking about (i’m not sure who sings it ? some people say soyeon some say shuhua idk, shuhua my queen btw) and soojin’s verse in the bridge hits. to this day i’m still obsessed with this song
a song written easily - oneus
this is so underappreciated, this is easily one of my favorite title tracks released all year. i’m not a huge fan of beat drops but this one was really nice imo, i also liked the lead in before the drop and the final chorus. this was really good and i never get sick of it
wannabe - itzy
CUT THE DAMN CAMERAS.... no fr this is my #1 favorite song released this year. talented brilliant incredible amazing... itzy seriously ate up everyone with this. i keep going back to this song it’s insane. iconic choreo good mv good styling amazing song.. like everything here lined up. i don’t know how they’ll ever top this for me. definitely my soty (next to psycho)
black swan - bts
this is excellent idk what else to say. i thought it was just okay when i first heard it but it’s seriously so good, me being yoongi biased i loved that he got multiple verses but i love the do your thing with me now breakdown part too. the choreo is one of my favorite from them and the mv was really pretty. black swan is one of my favorite movies so the comparisons with it made me love this song more. overall, probably my favorite off mots7
my time - jungkook of bts
jungkook always has the best album solos fr. i loved this the second i heard it, kinda justin bieber esque but it’s so good. i love the lyrics and transition it takes thru the song. the chorus hits man.. this song always makes me a little sad but he really did amazing on this
monster - red velvet irene & seulgi ep
my queens what can i say. i was so excited for this unit and they did not disappoint. monster still hits, aged like wine. the best track is fr feel good, i still have it on repeat.. insanely good. seulgi really delivered with uncover, it’s so beautiful. i think sm’s intention was always to have a subunit this year but i thought it was smart to do while wendy was recovering, hoping for ot5 soon y’all..
never gonna dance again : act 2 - taemin album
taemin my king wtf!!! i loved criminal so i was really excited for this and of course... he always delivers. top to bottom i loved this album, he really did amazing on it. identity might be the best song i’ve ever heard... and of course i loved the collab with wendy 🙏 overall such a good album, taemin always serves the best
pporappippam - sunmi
what can i say i love a little retro tune. even though i just said earlier i was sick of it idc i loved this. sunmi always shows up, i don’t know what else to say. this song never gets old
dystopia : the tree of language - dreamcatcher album
i didn’t expect to love this album as much as i did... i don’t listen to it as often anymore but i can’t deny that scream was a major serve. every time i hear it it’s like the first time... their bside jazz bar was so good. dreamcatcher’s bsides always hit what can i say
12:00 - loona ep
Yes. why not is not necessarily my favorite title from them ever (it’s butterfly, btw) but it’s always stuck in my head... obviously i loved voice/star, was obsessed for weeks and i was happy they decided to promote it a little. styling on those stages were so cute btw. i also loved fall again from this ep, chuu sounds angelic on it. loona had some amazing cbs this year
la di da - everglow
Obsessed. i watched every stage as they dropped and listened to this every 5 seconds, Amazing. sihyeon really owned this era for me and shes my bias so of course i ate this whole thing up. this was definitely one for the books, what more can i say
literally everything gfriend released this year
this might be their best year yet for releases imo, i really liked how they tried out different concepts and sounds this year, i’ve always loved their music but the switch was refreshing yknow. crossroads was so good, i loved that mv. here we are is still on repeat almost a year later... and now APPLE. apple was so mf good. i love that they decided to do a dark concept, this song really fit them well, still obsessed w it. mago might be my least fave out of the 3 but it’s still so good. don’t even get me started on yuju in the mv.. Queen. i liked the subunits on walpurgis night, especially better me. gfriend had a really good year imo, they deserved more for it.
Anyways. that was my 2 cents.
wannabe & psycho soty

AU where marceline is the school's local harana for hire she writes quick songs for anyone who wants to have a song sung for anyone for whatever reason they want
It's usually a lot of love songs (she's gotten tired of this really fast) but sometimes she gets requests for songs for friends
Anyway, Lady and Jake help her out with this business by making bouquets and playing along with her respectively. And Bon is usually just someone she bounces ideas with cause Marce may know so many people, but there's still a number of rich prissy losers that Bon knows and that's usually her clients. Also, Bon loves getting to stretch her writing skills.
(Though she's also pretty tired of love songs)
Marce gets a commission one day to make a song for Bon and she just kinda. Stares at it. Her clients aren't anonymous. Well, not usually. A lot of her songs are made from shared memories and the small percent made from flowery words are usually douchelords who are too confident about their place to think they'd need anonymity in case of rejection.
So when she sees that this one didn't have a name she was a little... confused. There was also the fact that Bon is notorious for saying no to everyone who tries to ask her out. And not in a way where friends tell friends this, but more of she said no to a guy who payed the whole school to get in on his grand plan to ask her out
(Even Marce tho it wasn't for a song. It was more of he asked her to drive Bon to school at a specific time. She obviously told Bon this but they didn't have a lot of time to talk about it bc the guy texted everyone their roles literally on midnight and wired the cash after sending the message.
A little worrying how he not only got everyone's number but also everyone's bank account. She and most of her friends changed phones then bc that was creepy as all hell)
She doesn't tell Bon. Not because of some customer confidentiality or whatever but because... Well she doesn't really know. It just made her irrationally irritated and sad. Odd.
She takes far longer than usual to reply to this. She doesn't understand the hesitation. Or maybe she does? Bon has called her a bleeding heart a million times and she guesses thats the reason. She feels bad for them and doesn't want to watch another person who put in effort be rejected. Yeah that's it. She should tell him that. Maybe they were new or something. It'll be fine, plus they didn't want a full song so they werent paying much. Yeah, that sounds like a game plan.
The next day she says yes and wonders all day why she did that
For about a month she keeps this commission to herself. She spaces out more than usual during this time. Not quite disassociating, just staring into space and thinking.
Bon isn't worried bc this is usually how she gets when she's got a song in the works. She needles her about what it is and who it's for, but she generally deflects and at some point just straight up lies and says some random names.
She also learns more about her client. They're not new, they've actually known Bon for about 3 to 5 years. They're pretty close apparently and actually knows Marce personally. Theyve talked several times and have hung out here and there too. (That sure didn't make her anxiety and paranoia skyrocket)
She feels a lot of anxiety and worry and trepidation and god other irrational shit about this commission. She doesn't really tell anyone (something her therapist, or Bon more importanly Bon, would frown at) so she's just left to wallow about it on her own. She tries working on it as much as she can but it just feels... wrong somehow. She doesn't really get it but she feels like she'll lose something because of this. She doesn't get it. She knows they'll be rejected and they'll all laugh at it in the end and just.
What is it. What's wrong.
She feels a tap on her shoulder and she almost falls off her bed. Jake's apparently been trying to talk to her for a solid minute and oh jeez now he's got that Worried Big Brother look.
He peers at her and asks what's wrong and not-so-subtly threatens that he'll stay and use his Big Brother mode on her if she tries to lie to him
She just sighs heavily and curls up
"Someone commissioned a suicide mission"
Jake makes an 'o' with his mouth. Theyve always called anyone who tried to flirt with Bon a suicide mission and laughed pretty hard at it. Even Bon calls the poors souls who try suicide missions.
She uncurls a bit and faces Jake with a small smile, ready to laugh with him about it as she should. But for some reason Jake just... Looks at her with this worried look. Not his patented Im-Worried-For-You-Little-Sibling but more of one would give to a friend when they know something they don't.
Marce laughs, shakey and unsure. "What? S'not like this doesn't happen. It's Bon, ya know? The sweatheart of the school." With a mean streak that rivals the devil, she adds quietly- fondly- in her head.
Jake just nods slowly. He drags his eyes away from her and stares at her wall, eyes unfocused.
Marce starts having a bit of a panic because what is that face, why is Jake acting like this, is there somethin on her wall, wait does he know the client, is he friends with the client, is he the client, w-
Jake flops his short, chunky body on her bed and pulls her to lay down too. Roughly, might she add. And not to mention absolutely unexpected.
He's smiling again, big and all teeth. It twitches for a second when he makes eye contact but bounces back so quick she thinks she might have imagined it.
"Ha! You're gonna write for a suicide mission this is hilarious!" He makes a move to ruffle her hair and she just starts flailing to avoid this. "Man! I haven't seen one in a while so this'll be fun at least. Something else to keep us busy other than those stupid douchefucks who thinks a song is a sure fire way to get laid."
Marce is confused but doesn't question this sudden change. Plus it actually helps? She snickers -because no, she doesnt giggle she is cooler than that- at the thought of watching the client be rejected before Marce can even pull out her guitar.
"Yeah, threw me off like hell cause Bon is practically legendary but hey apparently there are still some brave souls out there."
"Oh dude, I've got a great ass idea," Jake sits up and leans on his elbows, "Let's keep this a secret from princess. Oh and Lady cause you know she cant keep anything from her."
Marce kinda laughs at this in confusion. "Uh what? Why? If you haven't noticed my services include a bouquet and unless you've learned flower language I dont think we can take Lady outta the equation."
He snorts "I may not know flowers, but I know my girlfriend. I can just be vague and she'll take it as a challenge and try to make the perfect bouquet. S'no problem on that front.
"I figured we could keep it a secret so we can see Bon's pure and raw reaction. Like I said, there hasn't been a suicide mission in a looooong while so she probably doesn't expect this. And it'll be way more funny cause someone commissioned you for it. Where it is no secret that a) you do this and b) you get help from the three of us."
"You got a point there detective. Bur fair warning, Bon will be giving us the stink eye for days if we do this. Especially me because she's my thesaurus and metaphor maker. You know how she loves taking credit for making them sound like a stupid romance novel."
"Psh, she loves you to hell and back. She'll just pout at you for a while and when you buy her her favourite candy it'll be right as rain."
Okay, that sounded valid but at the same time Marceline kind of shut down after Jake said Bon loves her so uh she guesses she'll just trust that it'll be fine?
" 'nother idea," Jake says softly. He's looking at he- actually. No he's not looking at her, hes just looking her way but his eyes are just. Not there.
"Uh, shoot"
"Make this song the best you've ever made."
Marceline laughs for a second before she realizes okay wait Jake is serious about that. What. Why the fuck would she do that.
He shrugs and smiles again. Soft and pitying -what why why is Jake acting like this what the fuck- and he gestures around a bit before speaking.
"Well, first off it'll be good practice for you. You've been workin with Bon for about as log as you've been doing this so think of this as a test to see how you are now on your own.
"Second, well ya gotta admit if you pull out a banger and Bon actually likes it it'll be way funnier cause you can sing it and she'll look all annoyed but you can see that her tapping her foot and bobbing her head. It'll be funny for everyone involved.
"And lastly," Jake takes a deep breath before speaking, as if this is one of the toughest things he's done in a while. "Call it a father's intuition."
She stares at him. She- she doesn't know hwo to react to that.
After a second, Jake cracks a soft smile and "Did you get Lady pregnant, you fucking askal" just slips out of her mouth.
Jake laughs loud and boisterous at this and Marce just follows.
Yeah, she might as well make this the best one she's ever made. The client won't get the girl, but at least she can make her like it

1, 2, and 3 for the end of year asks <3
Yeeess the music questions! Much appreciated! <3
So, I’m going to limit #1 & #2 to 2020 releases (I got into Orville Peck and Yola this year but Pony and Walk Through Fire are both 2019 releases, so they won’t count) which does make my job easier b/c there’s only a handful of songs/albums released this year that I really dug into :)
1. Song of the Year: “Bad Trip” (Bad Trip [single]) Xena Elshazlii & Fady Haroun; “Pink Elephant” (Invisible People) Chicano Batman; “POCKY” (Shibuya Meltdown) Macross 82 - 99
I’m gonna to talk about “Bad Trip” in an upcoming post, so I’ll hold off. As for the other two: Honestly, “Pink Elephant” was a real gem when it dropped this spring, that electric guitar line just hooked me immediately and the kind of choppy, laidback rhythm section parts that match rhythm with it hit the fuckin’ spot. I’ve kept my ears open for what Chicano Batman’s up to since a friend from Stockton recommended them to me back in spring of 2016, I’d recommend giving “Black Lipstick” a listen if you want to check them out! “Pocky” is the second track on Shibuya Meltdown and it’s just a solid & infectious dance track that makes me happy to hear, I didn’t get as much in that EP as much as other Macross 82-99 releases but it’s a standout song. If you like this track, I strongly recommend the Sailorwave I & II EPs! :)
HONORABLE Mention: “WAP” b/c that song is a fucking jam and I’m always stoked to hear it
2. Album of the Year: The Call Within, Tigran Hamasyan (LP); Pop Songs 2020, Bumper (EP); Electrosteen (Compilation) 
The Call Within: I feel like I’m kind of cheating here b/c I haven’t done a full listening session for this LP but I’ve heard a good deal of it and, as usual, Tigran doing some absolutely gorgeous shit with jazz, armenian folk, rock, and mathematics! “New Maps” is a standout track and also the one that got my girlfriend into Tigran a few months back. If you like what you hear, I’ve got to recommend Red Hail (2008) and Shadow Theater (2013)
Pop Songs 2020: When this collab dropped back in July I was beyond excited, I don’t really follow my favorite artists’ feeds so it was a pleasant surprise seeing a notification from like the Japanese Breakfast y/out*be channel of all things saying that a new album had dropped. Four tracks of music that is at turns delightful and longing! Bumper hasn’t done anything else so I would recommend checking out either of Japanese Breakfast’s LPs or Little Big League’s album Tropical Jinx.
Electrosteen: Another utter gem found through listening to this Arab Indie playlist on sp*tif/y. Electrosteen is a compilation of tracks by MENA/SW Asian artists made in solidarity w/ Palestine (I am unfortunately a ditz and didn’t like look into the material work that the project was going toward lkajsd.) Anyway, the album is filled to the brim with bangers! 
3. Favorite Musician/Group I started listening to this year: I started listening to a bunch of new acts this year, and I really have just save an interesting playlist and hit shuffle (if using sp*tif/y) or play (if it’s a y/out*be genre sample video [IDK what to call them but they’re a fuckin’ treat])
My highlights are: Xena Elshazlii, Snarky Puppy, Mashrou’ Leila, Deerhoof, and 4th Curtis. These are a mix of new acts I was fortunate enough to run into in playlists, acts I’ve had recommended to me for years, longtime acts that I just hadn’t encountered before, and obscure ones that I happened to see someone talk about on Tumblr. (guess which is which, it’s pretty easy ajklshdkjh) 
I’m the most vocal about recommending Snarky Puppy, both their originals and their collab albums :) 
Ultimately, there’s a lot of releases from 2020 that I just haven’t gotten to yet b/c of having other things going on but a lot of them are on my sizeable Reading/Writing Playlist and I plan on writing about them as I get thru each album.

you can tell a lot about someone by the type of music they listen to 🎵🎶
rules: hit shuffle on your media player and write down the first 20 songs, then tag 10 people. no skipping!
tysm to @httpsgfg @lonellyheart @clumsyclifford and @lukehummingbirdz for tagging me! even though I know bella only did it to call me out. and i will be honest, I don’t actually “like” many songs on Spotify so I’m just randomly choosing a couple playlists I actually listen to and shuffling on there. u might wanna skip the wack ass commentary but I had fun! my music taste is eclectic at best so enjoy!
for reference, I used my On Repeat, my playlist for sexy and badass songs (almost entirely by women), and my my chemical romance playlist which I will not disclose how often I listen to that bc I like seeming mostly mentally stable, and my painting playlist bc it’s stuff I sit and fuckin go hard to
1. Invitation by AshNikko
starting off strong here, clearly. this one is a BANGER though, I recommend it. it’s also about not policing women’s bodies, so if ure into that...
2. Love Me Dead by Ludo
will be honest. found this one like a month or two ago. but it SLAPS. lyrics are a little more angsty than my usual but it vibes anyway. it sounds boppy and that’s the important part <3
3. Cry by AshNikko ft. Grimes
this fucking SLAPPPPPSSSSS. no better way to feel like a bad bitch
4. Olivia by One Direction
a BANGER. okay. she vibes. she deserves a spot on here. my favourite 1D song? no. do I vibe to her? absoFUCKINGlutely. as should everyone
5. Manners by AshNikko
A BANGER!!!!! A TUNE!!!! she SLAPS so hard. one of my favourite AshNikko songs, up there w Daisy. the BASS on this owns my entire ass. as does AshNikko herself if I’m being honest
6. The End by My Chemical Romance
she is....how do u say.....iconic. I will go hard to her, I must say. yes, I’m fine
7. Raise Hell by Dorothy
holy fuck....this song is so good. it’s like. I can’t even explain. the beat is amazing. want to feel badass? like u might start a fire? maybe topple the government? this is the Song for You. it Fucks
8. Problem by Natalia Kills
this song fucks. I also feel badass listening to it honestly. it hits Hard. the bass can eat me alive. if the song doesn’t have heavy drums or base, I don’t want it, basically. also yes, she is not the best person, however. the song. fucks.
9. Black Sheep by Gin Wigmore
oh this song does so fucking Hard. everything I said before also applies here. there r no sexual undertones here though which is Amazing. still feel badass. I will Step on someone to this song
10. Horns by Bryce Fox
another song with really heavy bass and sexy drums to feel badass to. are we sensing a Vibe yet? probably. I shall Switch Playlists again
11. Party Poison by My Chemical Romance
dedicated to Helen who absolutely despises this song <3 i actually like it enough. not my favourite song by them BUT she slaps and it’s fun enough to vibe to and truly that’s all that matters
12. I Never Told You What I Do For A Living by My Chemical Romance
helloooooooo this song slaps okay it’s just good. murder??? “I’m so dirty, babe”. the CHANGE at the end. ohhhhh boy she is SEXY
13. Machine Gun (Fuck The NRA) by YUNGBLUD
have I mentioned I love him? because I love him. this song slaps so hard and I will forever go hard to it, sorry not sorry. the BASS. the message...sexy
14. Choke - I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME
this song? also sexy. all my songs are, I think, in different ways. I don’t know much about the band or anything but this song has rights
15. DESTROYA by My Chemical Romance
this song actually is sexy. anti capitalism? oh fuck yeah. to be clear, that is what I mean, and not little bastard Gerard’s unhinged moaning. get a room, sir, and not a recording studio <3 (I’m just being Mean for no reason aksnsnsns the song is Good I’m painting a jacket for it)
16. I Am Going To K*ll The President Of The United States by Leathermouth
speaking of unhinged.......here is this. don’t ask, just accept and move on. it sounds good and is fun to scream with
17. braindead! by YUNGBLUD
holy fuck this song is SO GOOD I go so so hard to it. I lost my mind hearing it the first time and I was supposed to get to hear it live for the first time back in May but alas life does not work the way I want it to. anyway. slaps. sexy. good.
18. Die Young by grandson
don’t think I’ve really mentioned him on here but I LOVE him so much and his fucking MESSAGE. also he was the sweetest person when I met him, and he gives fantastic hugs. anyway. this song goes hard and I lose my mind to it and go completely feral. the message is fantastic and it sounds...so good....fast and loud is my favourite genre
19. Apologize by grandson
my Spotify loves lumping a bunch of the same artists at the same time thank u for that BUT this song is also good. it’s a little slower but the message is also fantastic, and proves a good point. “lose a bit of myself with every selfie” is a raw ass line anyway
20. Obey by Bring Me The Horizon ft. YUNGBLUD
HELLLOOOOOOOOO this song is SO good holy fuck. it only came out earlier today but it’s fast, loud, and ANGRY which are some of my favourite qualities god this song SLAPS so hard it’s so so so sexy......the message.....I will add her to the Jacket....
listen I think everyone’s already done this because I always answer mine horrendously late BUT I will tag @mikeycliffords bc I love her dearly. I literally don’t know anyone else that hasn’t yet been tagged BUT anyone that wants to do this, I tagged u, sorry, no take backs, i’d love to see answers xx

30 days of Autism Acceptance: Day 3!
April 3: Talk about special interests. Do you have any? What are they? How long have you had them? What does it feel like to have special interests? What does having special interests mean to you? Talk about your past special interests
HOO BOY! Ok, I’ll try not to go on too long about my special interests, but I have a lot to say about them! Also, some of my special interests are in this weird grey area of “are they a SpIn or a hyperfixation?”, so I’ll cover those as well, and make it noted when that’s the case for one. Also, this will be VERY LONG, so I’ll put it under a cut.
SpIn #1 - Pokemon
Pokemon has been my main special interest since I was 9, I believe! Black was my first game that I got for my birthday, and I was super happy to get it since all of my friends at the time would talk about it! I’ve gotten (almost?) every major release since then, thought I usually only get one out of the two versions. 
The Pokemon games that I have are *inhales*: Black, Black 2, HeartGold (got a few years after it came out), X (I have the limited edition 3DS), Alpha Sapphire, Moon (first completed Pokedex!), Ultra Moon (haven’t beat and probably never will), Let’s Go, Eevee!, Sword (still trying to beat), Conquest, Art Academy, PMD: Gates to Infinity, Picross, Rumble World, Battle Trozei, Pokemon Quest, Pokemon Playhouse (for when I’m regressed), Poke Park 1 & 2,  My Pokemon Ranch, and Battle Revolution!
I also used to play the TCG competitively, and in my first competition, I placed 9th in my division! I stopped playing about a year after that though because the cards I used in my strategy when I would practice with my Dad were too old to be viable.
I have a growing stuffie and merch collection as well! I have a lot of Unova stuffies, and a print of the Unova map that I got at a ren faire when I was younger (it currently hangs above my dresser)! My two favorite stuffies at this time are Baby my Eevee Build-A-Bear (named after my Eevee in Let’s Go, Eevee!), and Lily my Wooloo! I have a couple of Pokemon sketch cards that friends of my Dad’s drew, and some prints and figure-y things I’ve gotten in Artist Alleys over the years!
I also own a couple of different Pokemon books (not the manga, though), and 2 of the movies, along with the OSTs for B/W, X/Y, and ORAS! I don’t have much as far as clothing goes though, except for my “Gotta Catch ‘Em All” scarf and a Pikachu hat I got at an old anime store at the mall that has since closed. That’s probably all I can remember right now!
SpIn #2 - Steam Powered Giraffe
SPG has been a special interest for about 4 years now? Anyway, they’re my #1 favorite band and have literally saved my life. Watching Bunny Bennett’s (who plays Rabbit) vlogs about her transition, along with listening to the song Transform that she wrote (waaay before they just made it a single) really helped me accept myself and come out. 
They also came at a time where I was struggling emotionally a lot, and I remember being stuck in the ER hooked up to an IV, and my mom played some of their albums for me to keep me calm and grounded. More recently, I saw them perform at Anime Midwest last year, and when they performed Transform (which neither me or my friends expected), we were all hugging each other and crying tears of joy (my friends are trans as well, and have also been touched by Bunny’s vlogs).
Their songs (not including the sad ones) make me really happy as well, and Make Believe makes me stim a lot in particular! I also got to sing Honeybee as part of a voice coaching summer camp I took last year, and it felt really good to do it! I really recommend listening to them, especially if you like steampunk and/or you’re looking for trans artists to support!
SpIn #3 - Little Shop of Horrors
So this is more of a fairly recent one, compared to the first two. This special interest mostly applies to the 1986 movie, but I’ve seen the stage musical as well! The music, the cast, the plot, it’s all *chef’s kiss*. But for real though, my two favorite things about the movie are the practical effects and the endings.
With the CGI fresh hell we got with CATS, you may thing, “wow, special effects were so much better back then”. Except here’s the thing, they were practical effects. Audrey II is (I believe) entirely puppetry, not CGI. The same applies for the musical as well! It really culminated at the end of the film during “Mean Green Mother from Outer Space”, when Audrey II is at it’s biggest and most elaborate. Speaking of that scene, I much prefer the director’s cut over the theatrical cut. I know that the happy ending is much better for Audrey and Seymour, but “Don’t Feed The Plants” is an absolute banger, and I get a good cry out of it too.
I heard they might be making a remake of the movie, which I’m hesitant about, again, seeing how CATS turned out. We can only hope that they listen to the fans, and make the right decisions when it comes to making it.
SpIn #4 - Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure
Ok, so this is one of those aformentioned “is it a SpIn or a hyperfixation” moments. I’ve been hyperfixated on JJBA for the past 6 months and I’m physically unable to shut up about it XD
I’m about to start watching part 4 of the anime, I just need to set aside time to do it. I watched it a tad out of order, my ex told me to skip part 1 and watch a synopsis of it, so I started with part 2 (I’m a huge part 2 stan btw), got to part 3, was confused by everything going on with DIO, so I went back, watched part 1, and then resumed part 3.
As I mentioned, I’m a huge part 2 stan, so I currently have several part 2 character cosplays in the works. This includes (but isn’t limited to) Caesar, Suzi Q, Playboy Bunny Caesar (inspired by a piece of art that @tinypalettes drew), Tequila Joseph (but like,, actually decent drag), and Cleric Suzi Q from the JJBA D&D session me and my friends are having. I also want to do a drag/latex DIO look, along with maid DIO inspired by an old JUMP cover and a fanfic I read the other day.
I get a little nervous about doing/going to JJBA events at conventions because I’m worried about running into my ex, but knowing that I have supportive people with me helps a lot.
SpIn #5 - Homestuck/Hiveswap
So this is another one of those “SpIn or hyperfixation” moments as well. I’ve been into Homestuck since late 2016, but I’ve never been super involved in the fandom. Like, yes, I have a moirail and I’ve been in and hosted panels at conventions, but I’ve encountered some toxic people in it, so I try to distance myself.
I will say, however, that Homestucks are loyal to their fandom, and will buy merch if they like it. When I say that, yes, I mean myself, but it’s mostly about my Etsy customers. If you look at my sales history, the majority of it is quadrant necklaces, almost always the moirail ones. I get some orders for horns and pillows too, but not as often as the necklaces. When it comes to exhibiting at conventions, it depends. I normally don’t put Homestuck stuff out on the table because it’s such a niche, but when I do, people will usually buy a lot at once. For example, at Wizard World Madison in 2018, one guy bought $50-60 worth of Homestuck sprites from me. That weekend was the best I’ve ever done, and I haven’t come close since. My Etsy store started out as just me making Homestuck sprites for me and my friends too, so I’m glad that I was able to expand and give others what I like as well.
I’m also involved in a Hiveswap YouTube musical, and I’ve made a lot of good friends through it! We’re on hiatus right now, but we should be starting up again soon! I also have a lot of Homestuck cosplays! I’ve done Karkat, John, Jade, Nepeta, Trickster Nepeta, Karkat Peixes (a bloodswap), and I have a lot more that I want to do!
SpIn #6 - Danganronpa
So Danganronpa is (probably) one of those last “SpIn or hyperfixation” things. I’ve been into Danganronpa since 2018 (I think?), and DR:AE is my favorite (mostly because I’m a Kotoko and Toko kinnie oof-)!
Right now, my only Danganronpa cosplay is Toko/Syo, but I’m working on a couple of j-fashion (particularly menhera and fairy kei) inspired looks to do with my moirail (who was the one who got me into j-fashion), and just some Amazon/eBay cosplays as well! I’m also working on a Future Foundation Toko cosplay to do with my moirail so we can do Tokomaru together (though most of it is thrifting and clothes I already have)!
I own DR1, SDR2, and DR:AE on my computer, but I don’t play them much. The second trial in DR1 gives me panic attacks because of the whole breaking of trust thing (I’ve heard the audios and I just,,, break down), I haven’t touched SDR2 yet, and I’m sucky at the controls for DR:AE. However, I’ve watched the anime and I’ve seen let’s plays, so I have a feel for what’s going on, though I may not remember it all correctly since I haven’t watched them in a while.
———————————–
So that’s most (if not all) of my special interests! I probably forgot some, but it’s getting late and I need to pack for my Mom’s and go to bed. I hope you all have a good night!

RDR Essentials - Metal (1/27)
Tumblr media
RDR Essentials is a weekly newsletter of alternating genres that outlines key releases of the past month, upcoming events around Seattle and happenings in the specified music genre.
Made in collaboration between Rainy Dawg DJs and the Music Director.
Releases:
Asphyx - Necroceros
Tumblr media
Asphyx are no strangers to death metal and have consistently put out killer death/doom over the course of their career. While they are most well-known for the albums they put out in the early 90s, The Rack and Last One on Earth, they have had strong releases throughout the 2010’s and have extended that pattern into the 2020’s with their newest album. Necroceros is what you would expect from a typical Asphyx album. A mix of slow, drudging Doom and mid to high tempo death metal that is expertly crafted together. However, Asphyx was not afraid to push the boundaries of their sound on Necroceros, showing that they are not a one trick pony. A song where this experimentation pays off is “Three Years of Famine'' with its “Fade to Black”-esque style, especially during the instrumental sections keeping their familiar death metal sound while taking a more musical and melodic approach. The singles from this album, “Knights Templar Stand,” “Botox Implosion,” and “The Nameless Elite” are the perfect length and do an incredible job of producing that signature Asphyx sound. Songs like “In Blazing Oceans'' and “Mount Skull,” while not bad songs, do not stand out amongst other songs off this release. They are simply meat and potatoes death metal which lack a wow factor that many of the other songs have. It is always inspiring to see artists take leaps of faith late in their careers to keep things fresh and offer a new listening experience. If you enjoy death/doom or Asyphx, you will certainly enjoy this release. It is impressive to see a band so late in their career be able to release music with such consistency.

Hulder - Godslastering: Hymns of a Forlorn Peasantry
Tumblr media
Hulder is a unique force in the USBM landscape. Being a one-woman band is enough to make them stand out in a male dominated genre, but we are here to talk about the music. And the music rises above. This is Hulder’s first full-length after a slew of great EPs. Each one has a different sound but all stick to the general themes of nature, peasantry, and medieval times. Godslastering is by far the most substantial and produced release for the band. It features crisp, old-school production that is a far cry from their earlier, more lofi releases like Ascending the Ravenstone. The album pulls together heavy metal influenced grooves, medieval instrumental breaks, dungeon synth interludes, all underpinned by a classic, 2nd wave 90s black metal sound. The opening track, Upon Frigid Winds, is a nice summary of the album. It moves between tremolo picked riffs, to more black n roll grooves, interspersed with acoustic medieval instrumentation. Other stand out tracks include Purgations of Bodily Corruptions which is a fantastic, catchy mid-tempo banger, and Sown in Barren Soil, an epicly melodic anthem. Overall, the album doesn’t break any new ground. It crosses 90s black metal worship with increasingly popular medieval, dungeon synth ornaments. The production is clean but not processed sounding, making it a good introduction to the genre for the unfamiliar ear. While it's nothing new, Godslastering is definitely a solid listen for both new and experienced black metal fans.

Valac - Burning Dawn of Vengeance
Hailing from Santa Fe, Valac is a relatively new face on the USBM underground. They’ve released quite a few eps and a split with the Australian legends Kommodus, but this is their first full length offering, and it is something quite unique. The most striking thing about this album is the tone. It features walls of cacophonous buzzsaw guitar riffs and a thick low end, something somewhat orthodox for raw black metal. The drums are quite drowned out, but given that they are programmed midi drums it's not too big of a setback. This album also employs some odd time signatures that are sure to turn some heads. The second track, Awakening of Valac, starts the album off to a triumphant start following the instrumental intro. Valac’s ghostly shrieks sit just right in the mix and are reminiscent of USBM legend Xasthur’s vocals. Another standout track is Echoes Cast Upon Broken Shadows which features my favorite riffs on the album. Despite the distinctive tone, this album does feature some less notable aspects. The dungeon synth instrumentals aren’t anything unique and frankly are a little boring, especially the atmospheric opening. This album also falls into the recent trend of using midi drums which for me is an instant drawback, but the good news is the drums sound somewhat natural and aren’t that high in the mix anyway. Valac has created a great addition to the USBM catalog. The sound of this album is quite sinister and the big low end makes sure you really feel its depraved character.
- Zac Weiner
Upcoming Releases:
Bewitcher - Cursed Be Thy Kingdom
Tumblr media
If Motorhead and Venom had a child who was educated solely in speed metal, then you would get Bewitcher. Hailing from our neighboring city to the south, Portland, Bewitcher has two solid releases under their belt so far that ooze everything killer about 80s black and speed metal. Their 2019 album, Under the Witching Cross, was one of my favorites of that year and was one that seemed to fly under a lot of peoples’ radar. Earlier this year they put out the first single, “Satanic Magick Attack” for their new album, Cursed Be Thy Kingdom. This single is everything you would expect from a black and speed band with 80s flare. It is full of fast paced riffs at high speeds wrapped in Satanic praises. Hearing this one song alone has made me extremely excited for their upcoming album. While Bewitcher are not reinventing the wheel, they have their niche carved for themselves and are able to produce music that fits it well. I cannot wait for the next singles for Cursed Be Thy Kingdom to be released. If this album is on par with Bewitcher and Under the Witching Cross, then it will be a great album. For fans of Midnight and Hellripper, Bewitcher is another band that you ought to check out! Cursed Be Thy Kingdom is set to release on April, 16th.

@giggleboxx3000​ tagged me to list the last 10 songs I listened to! What a pal!!
HOWEVER…. 1) i don’t know my exact last 10 anything because I gave up on getting Spotify and Last.fm to play nice a long time ago and 2) anyone who has followed me for any significant amount of time knows I almost always listen to complete albums so I’m actually gonna list those and pick a song from each that I think is extra bangin’
Bloom by Beach House DUDES so over the past few months I have become 100% certified Beach House TRASH and it’s all @nerdrumple​’s fault. Honestly half of this list could just be their discography because THAT’s how far gone I am here. Their stuff is so dreamy and pretty and cool, the compositions so thoughtfully arranged, and Victoria Legrand’s voice is un-fucking-real. Anyway, off this album I’m particularly fond of “Myth”, “The Hours” and “Lazuli” (I tried to pick just one but I fckuin couldn’t i’m sorry it’s terrible i’m terrible)
Darklands by The Jesus and Mary Chain I actually hadn’t listened to this album in a while but it’s?? So good?? But okay okay ONE SONG I’m gonna pick “Cherry Came Too”
Not an album but just Frédéric Chopin I listen to Spotify’s This Is Chopin playlist quite a bit while I’m working. I really dig Waltz No. 7 Op. 64 No. 2 in C sharp minor.
Self-titled by The Stone Roses This album is so groovy from start to finish but I’m quite partial to “Made of Stone”.
The Heart of Saturday Night by Tom Waits “New Coat of Paint” and “Fumblin’ With The Blues”. Yes that’s two songs and I’m not sorry. Not even a little bit.
Dreamboat Annie by Heart This album is so #Classic and I’m going to plug “Sing Child” because the whole thing is bitchin’ but it gets so overshadowed by “Magic Man” and “Crazy On You” so w/e SIIIIIING CHIIIIILD SIIIIIING
Brotherhood by New Order Every song on this album is a Certified Banger but in the interest of NOT just plugging “Bizarre Love Triangle” which is imo the Ultimate Greatest Banger of All Time, I’m going to link “Angel Dust”. Love all those sick drum fills and dissonant chords and shit.
Love Songs by Chicago ok ok ok so yes I’m cheating a lil bit because it’s a compilation album BUT W/E “Look Away” and “I Don’t Wanna Live Without Your Love” are SUCH good power ballads!!! 
Villains by Queens of the Stone Age This whole album is 👌👌👌 flawless but the vocals and cool sexy chill of “Hideaway” really vibe with me man
High ‘N’ Dry by Def Leppard hoo BUDDY. Their catalog being added to Spotify was a literal prayer answered??? And what could be more iconic than the title track “High ‘N’ Dry (Saturday Night)”??
I’m gonna tag: @nerdrumple, @barpurplewrites, @evilsnowswan, @avatoh, @theoneandonlylittlebird, @winterswanderlust, @sagesequoia, @bookwormappreciationlife, @wixley-kryptonese, or whoever else sees this and wants to do it?? And you know, if you don’t wanna do it, that’s cool too man, no pressure 👍
